Apparently I have a detectable accent? I've had a handful of people pick it up. People in Ohio say Illinois or Indiana, Chicago people have it down to northwest Indiana, which is kinda weird since I grew up in the south suburbs. Curiously, people out west were surprised when I'd say Chicago(found it easier than having to explain why I specifically said NORTHWEST Indiana)
Also I guess they don't recognize the term "washroom" in Oregon?
Where you live comes up a lot in trucking.

GOW... come on out next weekend and try it before you go out and buy it.... oh bring that little 686 with you too.... Still can't get one of them yet....

TV, they will all be on the line at the M&S.. your welcome to shoot what you want....

Jedi.... get back here, there's nothing out there for you... Da Region is the only place for you... LOL....

 

[gunbunnies]

TV... I've gotten that a lot over the years while traveling to Cali and back...

August 31 I'll be out with my Boy Scout Troop (and families) shooting guns at Kingsbury. Anyone find cheap .22s, let me know. Melensdad already got me 500 for a good price.

Also, I was wondering if anyone wanted to help. Couple guys (or girls) would be nice. We do the 1 firearm per shooter thing. And we seem to have less parents this year with firearms experience.

I can't help. That is the day we are planning to come home from dropping Melen off at college (I think that is GeonimoJoe85's wedding day too). I might bust my butt and get home sooner, but that just means I will have driven straight home from North Carolina without stopping and I'll be tired the day of your shoot.

BUT, if you need it, I can lend you 1 or 2 Ruger 10/22s. 1 brown wood, 1 pink wood.

If you want to borrow either/both of the guns you'll have to let me know soon as we are busy packing boxes, etc. I can bring the gun(s) to the cigar lounge and you can pick it/them up there. Just let me know.

Melensdad I need to pick up your grill sometime this week. Can you leave it at the lounge? I don't need the propane I have plenty.

That's the weird part. CA people always thought I was local or at least from a border state or a couple states away.

I'll take it today when I go up there. I have lots of running errands to do this week, especially today, but I'll be at the cigar lounge about 1pm. You can get it any time after that.

BY THE WAY, I want any EMPTY COLEMAN 1# DISPOSABLE PROPANE CANISTERS

I'm looking for at least 6 of them.

PLEASE DON'T THROW THEM AWAY, let me try a legitimate recycling experiment with them. If you have one or two and are going to the MEET & SHOOT please give your empty canister to Jay. He can give it to me when he returns my grill.​

I think I have one or two around here. I'll drop them off after the M&S.

CA people are soooo screwed up that their not sure whats true and false.... LOL...

When I went out prarie doggin with some friends of mine, I would get long conversations with the Indian's on the reservations who were selling us our licenses and be welcomed into their places to chat... over my friends because of my high cheek bones which they would pick up on as a Indian trait... Kinda funny the first year the guys took me out there as they were telling me where to find all the dogs to shoot at and I was the newbie...

 

[Wild Deuce]

Soooo went out to Winamac accidentally today and was trying out some of the 38/357 stuff... This new Rossi Ranch hand was pretty cool to play with and turned out to be very accurate for what it is...

Lever guns and revolvers ... that's some good stuff right there!

Thanks. I'll keep the rifles in mind, but I should be good to go on them.
I need to find more 22 ammo at a decent price (or 9mm, etc) and maybe a couple adults to help supervise.

Right now the Scoutmaster is debating dropping the shotgun side.

What day is it? How many Scouts? How much ammo you need?

 

[lonehoosier]

Actaeon277 did you get your work schedule?

Aug 31 at Kingsbury
Don't know how many. And its scouts and families. I'd have to ask how many usually come. I've been doing this for years, but never counted.

I'd like 4-5k rounds of 22. I think I have 1.5k. I'm at work, so I'm not sure.
We mostly shoot 22, but by the end I break out the bigger stuff.
Black Betty will definitely need some ammo. 308 is killing me.
9Mm, 223 are also in there.

Job Opportunity

I don't think the Google Groups MSG is operational anymore so I'll post this here.

Any of you young bucks (or buckettes) interested in a firefighting career? ... PM me for information.

I used to do a whole write-up and send it out to the NWI MSG. I'll wait to see if anyone is interested before I spend time typing anything up. Serious inquiries only.

Portage man shot at gas station on U.S. 6 : Porter

"Based on the initial investigation, police said they do not believe the shooting was a random act of violence."

That makes me feel soooo much better

 

[Wild Deuce]

It looks like Cabela's will be sponsoring our Lake Village Appleseed.


BTW ... It's pretty weird. I just looked back through the thread and it seems that my earlier post was deleted ... where I first posted a link to the Lake Village Appleseed thread as well as the link to the Calendar listing. I guess the mods didn't like it or someone complained.

 

[lonehoosier]

@ Wild Deuce I'm very interested in this. Are you going to the Meet & Shoot.
